New Stuff
I got some new stuff for the Fords. The 2011 f250 will be getting Firestone air bags for the rear, 4" rear blocks, 2" leveling kit, Bilstein 5100s, and 315/65 (35/12.5) Toyo M/Ts.
Shame on Rancho. I will never buy that junk again.
I will put up a pic when I get the stuff on. The truck won't fit in my garage so it's going to be an outside job

From: at the truck pulls
It's gonna look sweet I'm sure, and the ride will be super sweet! I'm still going back and forth on putting 2" blocks in the rear and pull out the 4" to make my 350 level; or to go ahead and level the front up to match the back. Decisions decisions.

If you decide to go with the 2" then let me know if you want mine after I pull them out.

Yes, I took the Timbrens off of my 09 and I am replacing with Firestones.

They send them in a box that says 5" blocks, don't panic lol. They just use the same box for the 4" and the 5". My tape measure told me so.

I got everything installed. The tires go on tomorrow! The air bags went on the 2009 with no trouble, but on the 2011 I had to trim the ends off of the Ready lift blocks to make the air bags fit up against the shackles like I wanted. No big deal, you don't need this part of the blocks with the air bags anyways.
The Bilsteins are awesome! I would recommend them to anyone. I used part # 24-186018 for the front and part # 24-062466 for the rear. This rear shock is made for lifted trucks and it mounts upside down compared to stock. I like this way better anyways, because it allows dirt/water to get out of the bottom of the boot. If you want a direct replacement for stock then use part # 24-186025.
Here is a few pics. I had to break out the 12 ton jack stands to get those springs out.
